[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Using ASCII character in pull-down menus

huangj@mist.cs.orst.edu (Jen Che Huang) (04/25/91)

Has anybody been able to use the ASCII character set in a pull down menu?
I like to use the '1/2' and '1/4' symbol in my pull-down menu but have not
been able to.  I was able to accomplish this task under OS/2 PM, but was not able to accomplish the same task under Windows 3.0 PM.  If anybody have any
success in using the ASCII character in their menu or dialog box please
tell me how.....

Thanks

1/2 and 1/4 are in the ANSI character set.  You can refer to any
ANSI character using \xxx notation, where xxx is an octal value.
